CAR, HOME & MEDICAL INSURANCE

All Sports. All Sports People. ProSport Insurance.

ProSport is one of the UK’s leading providers of sports insurance, offering different options to meet the unique requirements of players at all levels, from professionals to semi-professionals and amateurs.

The ProSport range is designed by sportspeople for sportspeople, so you can be confident that you’re getting cover that is suitable, from car, home and income protection to sports injury and career–ending cover insurance. Cricketers also get a preferential rate of 60% off the sports injury and career ending cover insurance plans.

At ProSport, we use our first-class relationships with top insurers to treat sportspeople as a ‘standard risk,’ so you aren’t handicapped by the additional costs levied by other providers.

Each of our products has been designed by ex-professional sportspeople to give you a range of cover options that matches your lifestyle, without penalising you for your profession. When you put your body on the line every day it is important that you are protected both on and off the field, with access to a dedicated account handler and a professional 24/7 service. You don’t stop, so we don’t either.

Policies are available for individuals that are looking to cover themselves and their families, while clubs and associations can also take advantage of tailored plans that are designed to help them enhance any player welfare strategies.

PROSPORT INSURANCE – Andrew Pearce Q&A – A Professional On and Off the Pitch

Andrew Pearce is an RFU National Referee and is Head Broker
at ProSport Insurance.

ProSport is one of the UK’s leading providers of sports
insurance, offering different options to meet the unique requirements of
players at all levels, from professionals to semi-professionals and amateurs.

Q1. Hi Andrew. How long have you been involved in insurance?

A1. I became an insurance broker over 34 years ago and have
been in the industry ever since. In fact
I have been a broker for even longer than I have been a referee. I first started refereeing for the RFU in
1987 and made it on to the national panel three years later, so I guess you
could say that I am experienced in both!

Q2. Is finding
affordable insurance a new problem for cricket players?

A2. Historically
there has always been an issue for professional sportspeople. It is only through my work at ProSport
Insurance that I have been able to convince leading insurers to handle some sports
as a standard risk, which has helped to reduce premiums. In fact
ProSport can offer sports professionals a saving of up to 50% on their car insurance,
plus PCA players get FREE legal cover* on their car insurance and FREE home
emergency cover on their home insurance.*

Q3. What are the most
common requests that you get?

A3. Players are
generally just looking to save money on their car insurance, so I do my best to
get them a better deal. Trying to get
around higher premiums by purchasing a policy online can also put players at
risk if the occupational status doesn’t include ‘sports professional.’ Choosing
another status could mean that the cover they have is inadequate.

I also get calls from clubs that have an overseas player. They ask me to help them get the right cover
to drive in the UK, as many players arrive with inadequate insurance.

Q4. Is ProSport just
a car insurance broker?

A4. Not at all, we
have always had preferential rates for home insurance too and are now able to provide
a range of personal injury and income protection plans that mirror the way our
car insurance works. In fact, cricketers are entitled to a 60% discount from
the standard market rate for these products.

Q5. Players lead
pretty busy lives, what happens if they need to discuss their insurance?

A5. I am always
available, whether it’s for a player that needs to make a claim, amend a policy
or even just to provide advice. Players
can find themselves abroad and in different time zones, so I am pretty used to
answering the phone outside office hours!

Q6. Have you received any feedback from clients on how they
rate the products and service that ProSport provides?

A6. We receive lots of positive feedback from players,
ex-players that we insure. For example, Graham Swann has sent us the following
testimonial:

“I have been bowled
over by the quality of service and competitive quotes I have received from
ProSport. What more could you ask for from a specialist insurance broker for
sports people?!”

It makes it all worthwhile when you see comments like this
from somebody so well respected within the game.
